THAT’S BULLSHIT {1 of 20} -- Op-Ed Verse [NOT!] by Jim Boke Tomlin
AL GORE SHOUTS: "NO MORE BULLSHIT
FROM NOW ON!"That's what Gore meant
endorsing Dr. Deanon Tuesday morning
not long after dawnin Harlem with a force we'd never seen . . .. . . when Gore was being careful and polite.Too nice to shout
"That's BULLSHIT!" and prevailagainst the half-truth tellers.
NOW HE'LL FIGHTTHE TIDE OF BULLSHIT
that we'll now detail...BEGINNING when Americans allowedtheir nation to be grabbed
by Satan's goonswho screamed their bullshit
‘till the law was cowed, and jumpin' journalists
re-spread their tunes. As this last stretch
of BULLSHIT SONNETS ends, the Anti-BULLSHIT candidate ascends.>>>

OLD NEWS: BUSH did not win 2000 fair.
[Thank you, MoveOn!] BUSH: GUILTY of each death
as Satan's rep ensconced in White House lair
blaspheming Christ with every BULLSHIT breath.
"We did not lie! We can't help if you gotthe wrong impression
from our choice of words."The worldly prince's
BULLSHIT TEAM gets hotwhen branded "lying liars" —
when their turds . . .. . . are carefully arrayed along a linea razor blade away from the abyss.NO PROBLEM IF the press
were not "supine."(Bill Clinton's choice of word.
He did not miss.) SUPINE: on back, inactive, passive,
slack both mentally and morally.
News? Claque! >>>

THAT’S BULLSHIT {3 of 20} -- Op-Ed Verse [NOT!] by Jim Boke Tomlin
A college education in our day is not sufficient, clearly,
to preparenewsfolk to MEDIATE the way words playor prey on minds
in ways that keep it "fair."
A word already rhymed, but I'll repeat
it many times throughout the lines ahead —
at least in my own thoughts — as I re-heat
the long-cold past of how we were MISLED.
A pathologic even-handedness
instead of balance of the truest kind.
The reason Bush is King, Iraq a mess,is journalists’ incompetence.
Fast, blind . . .
... and arrogant, mis-educated bunch. Misframing ev'rything
by clichéd hunch. >>>

A whipping boy! We need one! Look right there
in Iowa at center stage to stickhis well-respected nose and Koppel hairat presidential level... "help us" pick . . .
. . . the Democratic candidate. He'll bound
the situation. Lord, thank God we're "blessed"
with journalists to bark and gen'r'lly hound
the conversation off the cliff. You've guessed . . .
. . . this won't be Mr. Koppel's fav'rite verse
of Big Bad Boke's. BUT THIS IS WHAT HE GETS
for demonstrating, NOW, the fatal curse
bad journalism is — when it forgets . . .
. . . (or maybe never knew) its vital role
which cannot be described as poke and poll. >>>

they grabbed our crotch . . .

"America Held Hostage" gave him fame.Because most journalists
have the diseaseof no imagination
Ted would claim . . .

Hear the screamsof "quality!" And "history!" He'd fightbefore they'd take his cubby-hole

by those who don't know better when well staffed. >>>

Kucinich bapped Ted good. THEN CAME THE CHEERS

not the peersof candidates, but gods.
The crowd was pissed.
And Koppel understood and shushed awhile.
He understands the audience is right.Well not quite that.
But he knows if you rilethat beast
then you cannot stay in their sight.
Ted wants to stay on TV. He's its knave. But "Journalists Gone Wild"

One night I helped someone and missed the chance
to cross paths with Al Gore before that fall
when ev'rything went wrong. Too late to dance
through Secret Service checkpoints to the ball . . .
. . . in 90210 land. Check in hand —one hundred dollars
for one moment's timeonce free in Tennessee.
Too late — the bandwas playing, gate was locked.
No talk of rhyme . . .. . . or rather "poetry" in broadest sensewould I be whispering in Al Gore's earamidst the lips of hundreds ...
I'll dispensewith that night's sad narration.
No career . . . . . . of poet-to-the-candidate
for Boke. I'm smiling, but that may not be
a joke. >>>

Whatever I'd have told him, Gore now knows
from losing — that old lesson prophets fear.
As I smile at the man unleashed who crows
the words with power like an outside seer.
Imagine if he'd exercise in versehis rhetoric?
I'm smiling, but it's true.Perhaps he might teach Dean,
so he'd rehearsea few of his quick lines
some folks might boo.Not teaching. No. Suggesting he should try"that looney thing"
that Boke said might inspirenew lines of thought and words
to say goodbyeto all the BULLSHIT patterns.
And refire . . . . . . the passion for a public life both kind and energized with hope.
No longer blind. >>>

We like our well-worn patterns. Well, that's life.
A babe confronts a strange world. Baby screams.
But soon some patterns form. Someday a wife
or husband ... That same loving face that beams . . .
. . . a smile we recognize down to our soulacross a room or mountain.
That's the one.Perhaps "old patterns"
are part of the goalof life that make us happy and have fun . . .
. . . BUT in one corner of one eye still seesome things we haven't thought of,
and just reachout toward that strange
new possibility.That isn't something
that someone can teach . . . . . . except to say, just try a little verse to find strange paths
you can't try in a hearse. >>>
